Someone on this thread mentioned a book called CCCP Cosmic Communist Constructions Photographed. I finally got round to purchasing it and it's fantastic, especially if your into urbex type stuff.
Thanks for the heads up on it.

Found these comments rather interesting:
i'm totaly amased at the number of people that have no knowledge or understanding of the need and use of Special or "secret" underground systems. same for a good number of roads that were actually built as runways in emergancys. Scotlad has a few of them, use google maps to find roads that are 3 miles long with 80 foot of verge either side of the road.There are hundreds of such sites not just in England but All over the world .. Japan Russia USofA most countries have them. in and around Berkshire Whiltshire there are underground weapons testing facilites, one i belive which could be in Sussex has a weapons fireing range which is a mile long tunnel. Look at signs on the Motorway ... any in red writing with a red border, and which will very probably say "Works Unit" well folks thats an MoD site u just passed, ur surrounded by such sites but because things are done under cover of plain daylight and under your nose u not see what you are looking at ..... ever wonderd why u never see milatry fuel tankers on the oads of Britton ? because fuel is piped straight into such MoD sites from the fuel depots and storage sites on the coast and the fuel pipes in most instances runs alongside the road system of the country... its mostly in plain veiw thats why everything is so well hidden. u probbaly walk the dog past such buildings with out even realising it. go look at Google its all there just open an eyeball or 2 and take a peek :>)

On a trip down the road to Glen Etive in Scotland last week, noticed this shed  with this bike leaning on it  Looks to have been there a good few years! Surprising number of very derelict buildings in the Highlands.

I remembered reading about this in a Blue Peter annual years ago. Thought to myself 'They must have closed it by now, and surely someone must have explored it'. Google did not disappoint : http://www.silentuk.com/?p=2792

I remember my Mum and grandmother taking my brother and I there 20+ years ago. I had no idea they had closed it all.

Surprising number of very derelict buildings in the Highlands. That's quite spooky when you think about it. Looks like the bike was propped there but the cyclist never went back for it. Wonder what happened to them?
